Help you join with me to pour out 37 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 3: your adoration to God today. Jesus, I thank you for 38 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 3: being the living word of God. You showed me your ways, 39 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 3: and you're leading me in the path everlasting. I praise 40 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 3: you for who you are, how you care for me. 41 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 3: Obedience to God's word brings prosperity. There will always be 42 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 3: a new expert or trend to tell you what to 43 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 3: do with your money. People will tell you where to invest, 44 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 3: what to buy, when to buy, what to sell, all 45 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 3: in hopes of filling their coffers. The only one who 46 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 3: truly has your best interests at heart is God. He 47 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 3: knows what your portion is here on earth, and it's 48 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 3: not money, it's himself. When we submit ourselves to God's word, 49 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 3: when we meditate on it and allow it to become 50 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 3: sweet in our mouths like honey, then we will have success. 51 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 3: When we observe the commands of God given to us, 52 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 3: When we take care of the widow and the orphan, 53 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,039 Speaker 3: when we give to those in need, when we use 54 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 3: our wealth for the things He wants us to use 55 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 3: it for, then we will be prosperous. We don't need 56 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 3: to listen to anyone but God. When we place our 57 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:40,359 Speaker 3: faith in his words, he will add to us anything 58 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 3: in everything we need. So draw near to Him. Hey, 59 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 3: ask forgiveness for putting the words of others, maybe even 60 00:04:49,720 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 3: over him. Confess those sins to Jesus even now. Hope 61 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 3: you'll take a few minutes to dwell with me on 62 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 3: the goodness of God's Word. Thank Jesus for being the 63 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 3: living Word, who is the Way, the Truth, and the life. 64 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 3: Give thanks for the mysteries of God revealed to us 65 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 3: through his commands. Thank Jesus for giving us the keys 66 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 3: to the Kingdom through his parables. Thank Him for his 67 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 3: words and how they are our inheritance from generation to generation. 68 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 3: Hope you'll know that God is present right now and 69 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,119 Speaker 3: that he's listening to you. And the Bible says, ask 70 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 3: and it shall be given unto you. So ask the 71 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 3: Holy Spirit to help you gain understanding in God's word. 72 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 3: Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you and to instruct 73 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 3: you as you read, showing you how to fulfill what 74 00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 3: is written. Ask him to show you God's will and 75 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 3: to keep them. Ask the Holy Spirit to remind you 76 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 3: daily to read his word and to keep you from 77 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 3: turning away from it, either to the right or to 78 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 3: the left. And remember, study what is written in the 79 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:23,359 Speaker 3: Bible day and night. Then you will be sure to 80 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 3: obey everything that is written therein. And if you do this, 81 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:36,720 Speaker 3: you'll be wise and successful. God has shown you how 82 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 3: to prosper through obedience. Hope you'll surrender your ways to 83 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 3: God and watch him pour out the favor of heaven. 84 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,840 Speaker 3: Thank you for completing today's meditative prayer.
